Home Care Provider, London 2024

24 Hours

Care often starts within 24 hours, not days

You've probably noticed the small things first

The fridge a bit emptier than it should be. The same jumper three days running. A fall she laughed off, but you didn’t.

Most families who call us aren’t in a crisis yet. They’re a daughter or son who wants to get ahead of one. That phone call costs nothing and commits you to nothing: we’ll listen, tell you honestly what would help, and point you in the right direction even if you don’t end up using us.

How it works

From first call to first visit, usually within a week

1. A friendly chat

Call us or request a callback. No script, no pressure. We'll listen and answer your questions honestly.

2. Free home visit

A care manager visits your mum or dad at home in Dulwich and gives you a clear written quote.

3. Meet the caregiver

We match one consistent local caregiver by personality as well as skills. You meet them before care begins.

4. Care begins

Often within days. You see every visit note in the family app.

Honest pricing

No "call for a quote" games. Here are our rates.

Most care companies hide their prices. We’d rather you could plan properly.

Our 2026 rates start from

£34.50/hour

Weekday daytime visits, one hour. Weekend and bank holiday rates differ; you’ll get the full rate card in writing at your free assessment.

✓  One consistent caregiver, not a rota of strangers
✓  Full hour minimum: no rushed 15-minute calls, ever
✓  Caregivers paid well above the sector average, so good people stay
✓  A dedicated care manager who knows your family by name
✓  Live family app: see every visit note in real time

A morning visit every day

One hour each morning, 7 days: washing, dressing, breakfast, medication

around £245 a week

Morning and evening support

Two one-hour visits a day, 7 days: the most common starting package

around £491 a week

Live-in care

A caregiver living in your parent’s home. Often less than a good care home, and they keep their home

quoted individually

You may also qualify for help with costs: Attendance Allowance isn’t means-tested and many Dulwich families don’t realise they’re eligible. We’ll talk you through funding routes at the assessment.
